About Boath House Restaurant & Rooms

Boath House Restaurant & Rooms invites visitors to step into a world where history, artistry, and nature intertwine in the heart of the Scottish Highlands. Nestled near Nairn, this Grade A-listed Georgian mansion, built in 1827, offers an exquisite retreat surrounded by 22 acres of serene parkland, wildflower meadows, and a 400-year-old walled garden brimming with organic produce.

Under its new stewardship since 2022, Boath House combines timeless elegance with a contemporary, minimalist charm. Its seven thoughtfully designed rooms, blending antique touches with modern comforts, promise a tranquil escape—free from televisions and distractions, encouraging guests to reconnect with the natural world. Outdoor fire pits, a serene ornamental lake, and river swimming access beckon explorers, while the estate’s artist residency program breathes creativity into the air, with visiting painters, writers, and gardeners leaving their mark.

At the heart of the experience lies the acclaimed restaurant, where chefs Philip Mcenaney and Katie Austin craft seasonal tasting menus inspired by the estate’s lush gardens. Guests can savor dishes like steak tartare adorned with garden blossoms or indulge in a rhubarb choux bun, each plate a celebration of freshness and artistry.

Whether dining by candlelight, strolling the historic grounds, or simply soaking in the quiet beauty of the Moray Firth’s gentle microclimate, Boath House offers an unforgettable blend of Highland heritage, sustainability, and refined hospitality.
